 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 19 Observation of the brain using functional magnetic resonance imaging in the acupuncture effect Author: Ling Zhao, You self-reliance, Tang Yong, Liang prosperity [Abstract] functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) as a non-invasive, real-time monitoring, non-harmful radiation of modern neuroimaging techniques have been widely used in brain studies of acupuncture effects of many aspects of the prospects for its application are also available from research and design more rigorous, closely integrated disease state, combined with various means to deepen the research content, etc. should be expanded. [Keywords:] functional magnetic resonance imaging Neuroimaging Acupuncture Effects Acupuncture as a means of treating disease has been more than 2000 years of history, its clinical efficacy has been gradually recognized by the international community. World Health Organization (WHO) identified and recommended 43 kinds of diseases are among the advantages of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of diseases. To clarify the mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of disease is clear and the basis of clinical efficacy, but also to promote the clinical development. Acupuncture theory holds that acupuncture is through certain acupoints in the body adopted a certain amount of stimulation to stimulate ‘by the gas’, so to play a conductive sensor, running blood, the coordination of yin and yang, adjust the actual situation of the role, so as to achieve the purpose of treating disease . Combined with modern research findings, it is widely speculated that acupuncture to stimulate the human complexity proprioception, regulates pain perception and cognition; Acupuncture may produce effects of the basis of the brain and central nervous system related to network-related [1]. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, fMRI) and other modern technology, the emergence of neuroimaging as a safety study of the h
